2011-03-26T04:07:59Z

* 'syscore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6: Introduce ARCH_NO_SYSDEV_OPS config option (v2) cpufreq: Use syscore_ops for boot CPU suspend/resume (v2) KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev PCI / Intel IOMMU: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev timekeeping: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevs

kvm: use little-endian bitops

2011-03-24T02:46:16Z

As a preparation for removing ext2 non-atomic bit operations from asm/bitops.h. This converts ext2 non-atomic bit operations to little-endian bit operations. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Cc: Avi Kivity Cc: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kvm: stop including asm-generic/bitops/le.h directly

2011-03-24T02:46:10Z

asm-generic/bitops/le.h is only intended to be included directly from asm-generic/bitops/ext2-non-atomic.h or asm-generic/bitops/minix-le.h which implements generic ext2 or minix bit operations. This stops including asm-generic/bitops/le.h directly and use ext2 non-atomic bit operations instead. It seems odd to use ext2_set_bit() on kvm, but it will replaced with __set_bit_le() after introducing little endian bit operations for all architectures. This indirect step is necessary to maintain bisectability for some architectures which have their own little-endian bit operations.

KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev

2011-03-23T21:16:23Z

KVM uses a sysdev class and a sysdev for executing kvm_suspend() after interrupts have been turned off on the boot CPU (during system suspend) and for executing kvm_resume() before turning on interrupts on the boot CPU (during system resume). However, since both of these functions ignore their arguments, the entire mechanism may be replaced with a struct syscore_ops object which is simpler. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

KVM: improve comment on rcu use in irqfd_deassign

2011-03-17T16:08:33Z

The RCU use in kvm_irqfd_deassign is tricky: we have rcu_assign_pointer but no synchronize_rcu: synchronize_rcu is done by kvm_irq_routing_update which we share a spinlock with. Fix up a comment in an attempt to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: Convert kvm_lock to raw_spinlock

2011-03-17T16:08:30Z

Code under this lock requires non-preemptibility. Ensure this also over -rt by converting it to raw spinlock. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: use yield_to instead of sleep in kvm_vcpu_on_spin

2011-03-17T16:08:29Z

Instead of sleeping in kvm_vcpu_on_spin, which can cause gigantic slowdowns of certain workloads, we instead use yield_to to get another VCPU in the same KVM guest to run sooner. This seems to give a 10-15% speedup in certain workloads. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu

2011-03-17T16:08:29Z

Keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu. This helps us figure out later what task to wake up if we want to boost a vcpu that got preempted. Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the same task always keeps the same vcpu, so we can only track the task across a single "run" of the vcpu.

KVM: Replace is_hwpoison_address with __get_user_pages

2011-03-17T16:08:27Z

is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped. While __get_user_pages will check both. QEMU will clear the poisoned page table entry (via unmap/map) to make it possible to allocate a new memory page for the virtual address across guest rebooting. But it is also possible that the underlying memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated. __get_user_pages can catch these situations.

KVM: make make_all_cpus_request() lockless

2011-03-17T16:08:26Z

Now, we have 'vcpu->mode' to judge whether need to send ipi to other cpus, this way is very exact, so checking request bit is needless, then we can drop the spinlock let it's collateral Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity
